GUI design principle
Asking for a root password in response to someone pressing the power button on the machine
shows: the designer didn’t understand the problem to solve at all.
It told me that I need to enter the root password because someone else was logged in. That’s fine, but *I* can pull the power anyways.
The question is just: are the GUI designers or the security designers to blame.
